embroidering an idea...

i'm by no means an embroiderer, but i can't help feeling pleased with this little project - i keep it in a little drawstring bag made of summersville strike offs and i take it whenever we're away and try to get a little bit done when i've got a spare 5 minutes. i'm trying to embroider enough for the front of a sofa cushion, but i might be some while...just thought you might appreciate a new idea on how to use some summersville! alphabetty would look brilliant done like this too...

Cool!! It's on my to-do list to do this with some house fabric from Ikea but those houses are quite large. Maybe I need to buy some more of your fabric...... :) I'm also planning on doing this with some bird fabric I have but again, it's finding the time!

I have that fabric, and I already thought of doing a similar thing with it. :) Your result looks so gorgeous, I just can't make up my mind, if that inspires me even more to do it, or makes me scared, because I don't think, I could do it so nice as you do!

welcome! i'm lu and i like to design & print. i've designed 2 fabric lines for moda fabrics, and it might still be available from lots of good stockists and probably some crap ones too. (i'm kidding! i'm kidding!) i'm also the author of 'quilt improv'. happy days!
